"Blue Mountain" lyrics - BALSAM RANGE

I took my chances
Left you for Texas
Hell bent with something to prove
I thought you'd be there
When I wandered back where
I left your sweet love and the truth

[Chorus:]
It's a blue mountain
A blue mountain
It's rolling between me and you
It's a long highway
A long highway
And it runs through the heart of a fool

Now I've been to Phoenix
The west coast, I've seen it
But still haven't found who I am
'Cause those old Carolinas
That I left behind are
The heart and the soul of this man

[Chorus:]
It's a blue mountain
A blue mountain
It's rolling between me and you
It's a long highway
A long highway
And it runs through the heart of a fool

Well, no glass of whiskey
Can tell me you miss me
I've been gone too long for that
So I'll drink to old times
Black roads and white lines
Till the day I find my way back

[Chorus:]
It's a blue mountain
A blue mountain
It's rolling between me and you
It's a long highway
A long highway
That runs through the heart of a fool
Oh, it runs through the heart of a blue mountain
A blue mountain
